Loss aministrator account.

[Xskipper]

:disgust: Hi, My kids was playing around the user group in the control panel and changed the account setting and password, he did not remember the administrator password that he had changed.

I, now lost the administrator access to my computer, but I still can log in as regular user. My user name is unknown account and I could not access to do anything. I could not delete, remove or upgrade anything even my anti-virus software.

is there anyway possible to regain my administrator account on my computer, I have a Windows XP Pro?

Searh Google, there are many tools you can use to recover a lost administrator password.

There are disks out there that you can boot from to change your admin password.

Also, consider not giving the toddler an admin account.

EDIT: Try this. No guarentees.

Not a problem. Glad it worked, because if it broke anything I'd almost feel bad
